Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

   Section  102(b)(7)  of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware
grants  corporations  the right to limit or eliminate the personal  liability of
their Directors in certain  circumstances in accordance with provisions  therein
set forth. Article NINTH of HEALTHSOUTH's  Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides  for  the  elimination  of  personal  liability  of a  Director  to the
corporation  or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damage  for the  breach of the
Director's  fiduciary  duty to the full  extent  allowable  under  such  Section
102(b)(7).

   Section 145 of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware  grants
corporations  the right to indemnify their  directors,  officers,  employees and
agents in  accordance  with the  provisions  therein  set  forth.  Article VI of
HEALTHSOUTH's  Bylaws  provides for the  indemnification  of such persons to the
full extent allowable under applicable law.

   HEALTHSOUTH  has entered into  agreements  with all of its  Directors and its
executive  officers  pursuant to which the company has agreed to indemnify  such
Directors and executive officers against liability incurred by them by reason of
their services as a Director to the fullest extent  allowable  under  applicable
law.

   The Underwriting  Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) provides for indemnification by the
Underwriters  of  the  registrant,  its  directors  and  officers,  and  by  the
Registrant  of  the  Underwriters  and  certain  related  persons,  for  certain
liabilities  arising under the Act and affords  certain  rights of  contribution
with respect thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings

   Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Securities Act
of 1933,  as amended (the "Act"),  may be permitted to  directors,  officers and
controlling  persons of the Company  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or
otherwise,  the Company has been advised  that in the opinion of the  Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other than the payment by the
Company of  expenses  incurred  or paid by a  director,  officer or  controlling
person  of the  Company  in  the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit  or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel  the matter has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that:

       (1) For  purposes  of  determining  any  liability  under  the  Act,  the
    information  omitted  from  the  form of  Prospectus  filed  as part of this
    Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
    Prospectus  filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
    under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this  Registration  Statement as
    of the time it was declared effective.

       (2) For the purpose of  determining  any  liability  under the Act,  each
    post-effective  amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed
    to be a new  registration  statement  relating  to  the  securities  offered
    therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
    be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

certifies  that it has  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that it meets  all the
requirements  for  filing  on Form S-3 and has  duly  caused  this  Registration
Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized, in the City of Birmingham, State of Alabama, on September 27, 1995.

today  with  the  Securities   and  Exchange   Commission   (the   "Registration
Statement"),  of a public  offering  by the Company of an  additional  2,000,000
shares and, in the event the underwriters exercise their over-allotment  option,
up to a further 300,000 shares  (collectively  the  "Additional  Shares") of the
Common Stock.

         In connection with this opinion, we have examined and are familiar with
originals or copies  (certified or otherwise  identified to our satisfaction) of
the Registration  Statement and of such documents,  corporate  records and other
instruments   relating  to  the   incorporation   of  the  Company  and  to  the
authorization  and issuance of the Additional Shares as we have deemed necessary
and appropriate.

         Based  upon  the   foregoing,   and   having   regard  for  such  legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that:

         (1)      The Additional Shares have been duly authorized.

         (2) Upon  issuance,  sale and  delivery  of the  Additional  Shares  as
contemplated  in the  Registration  Statement,  the  Additional  Shares  will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                                           Very truly yours,
